|  | Demonstrations of scripting support.***

| All of these should work when using the DEMO.COM procedure. When on an installed server some may be disabled completely or configured to require authorization in line with local requirements. |

CGI* |  | A comprehensive, efficient CGI environment is available, as used in a variety of CGI-based scripts.
CGIplus* |  | WASD CGIplus combines the ease of CGI programming with the efficiency of persistant scripting.
RTE* |  | Run Time Environments allow "intepreters" for persistant scripting to be built using the CGI(plus) interface.
WebSocket |  | HTML5 WebSocket provides an asynchronous, bidirectional, full-duplex connection between agents. WASD WebSocket server applications (scripts) provide a multi-client, persistant scripting environment.
"Raw"Socket |  | WASD RawSocket provides an asynchronous, bidirectional, full-duplex, protocol-agnostic connection between a non-browser agent and a server application. It's WebSocket without the WebSocket protocol!
ISAPI |  | An ISAPI implementation provides the efficiency of persistant scripting and CGI-like programming via a de facto industry standard interface.
OSU* |  | DECnet and OSU-compatible scripting is available (though may not be configured for this server).
DCL |  | The CGIUTL utility eases the processing of POSTed requests, and generating responses, transfering and uploading files, etc., from DCL-based scripts.
Java |  | Have Java installed on your Alpha or IA64 system? If so check out the Java-enabled scripting environment (including persistent CGIplus).
Perl** |  | Have Perl available on the system and want to improve its response-time by a factor of twenty? Who wouldn't!
PHP** |  | A persistent interface (RTE) to the OpenVMS PHP scripting engine is available.
Python** |  | A persistent (RTE) Python scripting engine is available. It supports CGI, CGIplus and Python's WSGI interfaces.
gSOAP** |  | A persistent (RTE) gSOAP environment for the VMS port is available.
FastCGI** |  | A high performance interface to applications built using Open Market Inc's FastCGI specification.
* The CGILIB C-language function module eases interface and portability issues. ** Check the WASD download site for these and other developments. *** Scripting support is described in detail in Scripting Environment
